Hola Amigas! How are you? I have been SUPER BUSY! I made 15 headbands for Solimar's classroom. Her teacher is giving them to the girls for Christmas. I also made 24 Snowman Soup Mugs for her as well. From Solimar I made Reindeer Food...and so MUCH MORE. Here are just 3 of the headbands I made.

All these headbands use Stampin UP Flower Folds Sizzix die. I also used SU ribbon and/or SU brads as embellishments. Stampin UP now has a fabric line so I will show you the headbands and MORE with those soon...

Hola Amigas! I have been super busy gift making! How about you? Currently I am working on a golf cart for Mrs. Coecliff's hubby. What do you think? I (OF COURSE) still need to decorate it with some stampin' and more but here you go...I did use a template to get me started but I tweaked it ALOT and not sure if I will EVER make one again! Loved the experience...

Hola Amigas! Solimar's teacher asked me to make a 3D snowman and of course I said yes...I used Lynn Pratt's tutorial. It was NOT EASY! But so worth it...It was so heavy I had to make a base for it. I did try a skewer as Lynn suggested but that didn't work for me.

Hola Amigas! I have a craft fair on Friday at Bordentown Regional High School. I hope you will come and see me. This is one of the items I will be selling. It's Reindeer Food. Cute, huh?They make classroom gifts. So if you need some as gifts for your son or daughter's classroom be sure to email me.

Hola Amigas! How are you enjoying this CHILLY weather. I for one DO NOT like it one bit. Well it's Wednesday and you know what that means Diva Time. When I do color challenges I find them difficult at times. You look at the colors and think how do I make it work. But you know what it just falls into place and it looks BEAUTIFUL. So please play with us...Here is my card.So what do you think? I love it. It is suppose to have a Birthday sentiment BUT I have all my Holiday stamps out and its 2AM and I didn't want to wake my family. This would be really CUTE in Holiday colors as well. I will share a tutorial soon. I will show you this card as well as how to convert into a gift card.

Hello! How are you today? Today I am going to share how to make this cute mug. Cute, huh? You will start with a piece of 8 3/8 x 3 1/2 cardstock. If you choose to add DSP that will be 8 3/8 x 3 1/4. Ensure that DSP is adhered with strong adhesive. You will also score your cardstock at 1", 2", 3", 4", 5", 6", 7" and 8".Your next step is to prep for the handle. In the 3rd column you are going to measure 1 1/2 down and make a mark and then you will take your hobby blade and from the end of that mark you will make a 1/4 slit. From the bottom of the 1/4 slit you are going to measure down 1 1/8 down and make a mark. Now from this last mark you will make a 1/4 slit down. Easy Peasy!

You will then add sticky strip to the end strip ( the skinniest one) and adhere together

Your next step is to make the bottom. Using your circle scissor, colluzzle, mug, etc you are going to make a 3 1/8 circle. I think cut slits every 1 inch. You then score the connecting slits.Are you still with me? Now for your handle. You will cut of piece of same colored cardstock at 2 x4 and fold in half. Use your colluzze, punch, etc and punch a circle. I used the 1 3/4 circle punch. Your next step is to get a smaller punch, coluzzle circle, etc and punch inside. The open part of this piece should be facing you if you are using the punch. I punch little bit by little bit so as not to over punch.Insert into slits and TA DA! I made mine simple but of course you can add embellies and ribbon and MORE!

Hola Amigas. Where did the week go? Well you know its Friday and that means time to play with the Stamp A Holics DT. This week we have a scrapbook page challenge. Now for those of you that know me. This is my BIGGEST weakness. UGH! And I really have SUPER CUTE kids so it shouldn't even be an issue. Here is the sketch.

We had pictures taken at Solimar's school and I think they came out ok. Solimar and Joaquin of course are TOO CUTE! Here is my take on the challenge...I think I can do without the ribbon on the left hand side...What do you think?RECIPE: ALL STAMPIN UP

Hola Amigas. I have posted a challenge at Scrapping the Moments. I challenge you to make a snowman card. You can use punches, dies, stamps, etc to make your snowman. Use your imagination. Here is my snowman card for this challenge.What do you think? Cute, huh? I saw a snowman card on Sharon Field's blog and new I had to make one. She used punches to make her snowman and I used the Circles #2 die. I wanted to show you how you can use different products and get the same results.

Hola Amigas! It's time to play with the Divas. How is everyone doing? Can you believe it's December? I have GREAT news. I am a Guest Designer for USTAMP with Dawn Year End Blowout. I get to give one free pass away but this time there is a twist. I have to choose a new friend someone I don't know. Who knows it could be YOU! I definitely need to redo this card. Not sure what it is but its either missing something or this is not the correct stamp to use for this sketch. Any thoughts?
